Pastor Nkechi Ene, the presiding pastor of "The Carpenter's Church" has passed on to glory at the age of 56. The announcement was made by the church on their Instagram page.
According to the church,
Pastor Nkechi Ene Passes on to Glory. It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing into glory of God’s servant, our presiding pastor, our mother-in-Israel, Pastor Nkechi Ene, on Wednesday, 29th October 2025. Pastor Kech returned to Nigeria exhausted after a successful and extensive ministry trip, marked by miracles and testimonies. She experienced a sudden health crisis while in Lagos.
As our hearts hurt and questions assail our minds while we process this shocking news we rest assured in the unwavering truth that God is the good God and His mercies endure forever. He is always faithful. Pastor is in a better place, for to be with Christ is far better (Phil. 1:23). As Apostle Paul said, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21). Our pastor was a woman of great faith, who lived, and believed the Word of God till the very end. She gave her life in service of God and His people. She has now heard the words from her Master, “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matt. 25:21).
As a church family, we, The Carpenter’s Church, and ministry, both local and global, acknowledge that this is a very challenging time for us. At times like these, what we should do is to embrace, comfort, and encourage one another—starting with our Pastor’s family. Let us overwhelm with our love, comfort, and prayers, especially Pastor’s husband, Bro. Emeka Ene and their daughters, Zoe, Chloe, Tracy, and Osi. We also continue to uphold her mother, Ma. Mercy Chijioke, as well as her brothers and sisters.
As a church, we look up to, and lean on the Holy Spirit, our Comforter, to comfort and strengthen us. We trust the Father to be to us all that we need Him to be in this season. We receive His grace and healing.
Despite the void of her departure, we are grateful to God for an excellent and productive life well lived. We honour and celebrate one of the great generals of God in our generation—one who lived and taught the undiluted Word of God, danced with the Holy Spirit, and who by precept and example taught us to do the same. Her life was an impactful one of faith in God, selfless, sacrificial service, and a profound love for God and humanity.
Until her death, Pastor Ene was the Presiding Pastor of The Carpenter’s Church and the Director of Schools at Ekklesia School of Local Church. She was also the host of Freshdew which began in April 1988.
She served as the Associate Pastor to Pastor Charles Omofomah until he went home in glory on the 27th of February 2013.
She is survived by her husband, four daughters and her mother.
